Seven Worlds

1. “Detached” [MP3] [REAL AUDIO]

“‘Detached’ (3.43Mb) is a song I originally wrote in 1999 when I was 19 but this recording was done in 2003. The initial demo of the song was all acoustic, slightly slower and had a little bit of a flamenco sound to it but when I went to record it with a 'full band' sound I came up with the intro guitar riff and the song became built around that. I wanted the music to sound hopeful and inspiring as the lyrics deal with loneliness and being on the fringes of society. It's basically someone questioning whether they are a free spirit or just detached from everything.”

I'm a singer/songwriter under the name Seven Worlds. I come from Edinburgh, Scotland and write melodic, thoughtful pop/rock songs.

I have been involved in music since 1998, when I was 18, and started to learn guitar but soon became more interested in the songwriting process. Since then I've written many songs, most recorded in my bedroom on a 4-track in acoustic form. During the summer of 2002 I formed an acoustic duo and played some live open mic gigs around Edinburgh though that was short-lived. At the start of 2003, with some new home recording equipment and instruments, I set about re-recording some of my older material in a fuller form. I also continued writing new songs. My official website www.sevenworlds.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk was put up in March 2003 and has given me a vehicle to promote my music since I haven't been playing live. I started to attract attention from a variety of places, including radio, and my song "Come & Go" received some airplay on Manx Radio (Isle of Man) early 2003.

In January 2004 I released an EP called Head Above Water which was the culmination of the songs I recorded throughout 2003. It's a 6-track EP and features "Detached" and also "Come & Go" and is available for purchase direct from my website.
